e.surv Chartered Surveyors has acquired the assets and brand of Acadata for an undisclosed amount.

Acadata was founded by David Thorpe in 1993 and provided house price indices and other related data products.

The group has worked as a supplier for e.surv and other entities for several years, producing both England and Wales and Scottish house price indices.

As part of the deal, current Acadata analysts, Peter Williams and Bob Pannell, will become consultants to e.surv.

Director of business development at e.surv, Richard Sexton, commented: “This deal secures valuable intellectual property (IP) and curated data sets for e.surv which will support and accelerate our wider data strategy. We also look forward to pooling our experience with that of the Acadata team, to shape our proposition for the future.”

Thorpe added: “Acadata has enjoyed a productive and collaborative relationship with e.surv over many years and I couldn't be happier that the Acadata IP and expertise will be moving to e.surv.”
